There’s something admirable about a band that gives its all, even if it’s not playing to a full house. That was definitely the case last night at the Grog Shop when Bosnian Rainbows, a band featuring former Mars Volta/At the Drive-In guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, played to a sparse crowd of about 150 fans. While Rodriguez-Lopez has his loyal followers (something he acknowledged at the concert’s end when he thanked the audience for supporting his music), Bosnian Rainbows has yet to release an album, something that made this show seem a bit like a rehearsal of sorts even though the debut disc is recorded and due out this spring.
